After about five hours of maintenance, proxies can dive into a packed patch that delivers two new S-Rank agents, a free S-Rank selector, a brand-new permanent game mode, and significant quality-of-life improvements. Whether you’re planning your banner pulls or mapping out your event checklist, this patch has something for everyone. For the latest Zenless Zone Zero news and guides, stay tuned as we break down everything you need to know.

Banner Breakdown: Should You Pull?

Version 3.1 launches with two simultaneous S-Rank banners.

Phase 1 (from 2026-07-29 to 2026-08-18):
– Remielle (Lumiflux – Anomaly) featured on “Paradise Regained” Signal Search.
– Sigrid (Ice – Attack) featured on “‘Till the Ends of the Sky” Signal Search.

Both agents also bring their signature W-Engines: Ode of Resurrected Wings for Remielle and Knight’s Exaltment for Sigrid. The S-Rank Bangboo Ariel is available on the Bangboo channel.

Should you pull for Remielle? As a Lumiflux Anomaly agent, she likely excels at building up the new Lumiflux Attribute Anomaly. If you lack a strong anomaly DPS or want to explore the new element, she’s a high-value target. Sigrid, an Ice Attack unit, fills a different role. Her burst potential makes her an excellent addition to Ice teams, especially if you missed earlier Ice DPS options. Given the Marcel Anniversary Gift includes a free S-Rank selector, you might want to wait before committing resources. The free selector is said to offer a limited S-Rank Agent (details pending), so plan accordingly.

Events & Rewards

The highlight of Version 3.1 is the Marcel Anniversary Gift event. Running for the entire patch duration, it rewards proxies with a limited S-Rank Agent, an S-Rank W-Engine, and loads of Polychromes. This is a massive boost for F2P and low-spend players.

Other events include:
– Phaethon’s Grand Reveal of the Year – Story recap event with rewards.
– Potential Hypothesis: Hunting Game – New combat challenge.
– Gift From the Clouds – Log in 7 days total for 10 Encrypted Master Tapes.
– Summer Waves Roll In – Free Lucy outfit: Princess on Holiday.
– The Great En-Nah Giveaway! – Another 7-day login for 10 Encrypted Master Tapes and 10 Boopon.
– Snap! Focus Showdown! – Photography-themed combat event.
– Crispy Meal Deployment Plan – Culinary event at Lumina Square.
– And more: Triple Bounty events for Area Patrol and Combat Simulation.

Don’t forget the first-purchase double Monochrome bonus resets with this update, so if you’ve been sitting on unclaimed top-up bonuses, now’s the time to use them.

New Permanent Mode: Enigma of the Labyrinth

Enigma of the Labyrinth: Operation Bagel arrives on 2026-08-05 10:00 (server time). This mode tasks proxies with venturing into the Hollow to collect supplies, build infrastructure, and craft equipment. Rewards include Polychromes, the Agent Focus: Pyrois, and new Proxy accessories Belle: Chipi-Meow and Wise: Dubi-Meow. It’s a solid addition for endgame grinders looking for more permanent content.

Quality-of-Life & System Updates

Several player-requested features make the cut:
– Batch W-Engine management: Lock/unlock A-Rank W-Engines in bulk, and set a target max-overclock to auto-unlock extras.
– DX12 support for select AMD graphics cards – Check the official FAQ for compatible models.
– Reduced enemy ATK in Deadly Assault Trial Mode – Makes scoring easier for those chasing the new Adversity Mode.
– Rina skill feel improvements and Miyabi/Aria/Piper Additional Ability condition expansions – These balance changes open up more team comps (e.g., Miyabi now works with Anomaly teammates).
– New Graphics option: “Crowd Density” slider to improve performance on older devices.
– DualSense light bar effects for PS5 players.

Pre-Patch To-Dos & Day-1 Priorities

Before the update (2026-07-29):
– Claim any expiring mails and event rewards.
– Use up your energy or battery charge if you want, but the patch includes a reduction in EXP required from Lv.20–50, so leveling new agents will be smoother.

After the update:
– Claim compensation (600 Polychromes total) from your in-game mail.
– Check out the Marcel Anniversary Gift and grab your free S-Rank selector.
– Start the Gift From the Clouds and The Great En-Nah Giveaway! login events immediately.
– Explore the new area Roscaelifer – Booastrum – Gear Street and begin the new story chapter.

The free selector alone makes this a must-play patch. With two new agents, a permanent game mode, and generous login rewards, Version 3.1 sets a strong foundation for the second half of 2026. For deeper dives into team building and optimal farming routes, keep an eye on our Zenless Zone Zero guides.
